Most common issues on this model

  1. Disposer noise or a jam from a hard food object
  2. Pump humming without moving water
  3. Water left in the sump
  4. Dishes cold or filmy from low wash temperature
  5. Control pad lag when starting a cycle

The PDW8700LBB is a GE Profile stainless interior built-in dishwasher, listed with a second finish as PDW8700LWW. It has a tall tub, a stainless tub-door liner and a 53 dBA quiet package, and it measures 24 in wide.

The Piranha hard food disposer is the feature that sets this model’s service apart. Unlike a filter-only machine, it grinds food, so a bone chip or a bit of glass can stop it, and the noise is our first clue. We pull the lower rack, check the disposer by hand, and then test the dual pumps and motors one at a time. Automatic temperature control is verified with a thermometer if dishes come out cool.

The label near the door edge gives us the model and serial we need to order correctly. The price is written ahead of the work, and we give a 30-day warranty.

PDW8700LBBPDW8700LBB questions
What is the Piranha disposer?

On this model it is the hard food disposer in the wash system. It grinds food before it reaches the drain, and we clear and test it when you hear grinding or a stop.

Why does the pump hum without draining?

A blockage in the drain hose or at the pump can leave the motor humming. We clear the path and test the pump, and we avoid replacing a good motor.

Is the LWW version the same dishwasher?

It shares the base model and has a different finish. Door and panel parts follow the finish, so we check the full number before ordering.
